Chapter 759: Limited-time offer

Dragon held a sticky note delicately between his index and thumb, his eyes tracing the short message inscribed upon it. A subtle smile played on the corners of his lips, and his gaze softened as he read the words once more, eventually shifting to the vase gracing his desk.
"She wants to deliver it herself," Deborah spoke after a moment, her eyes studying Dragon’s back, attempting to discern his reaction. "I can dispose of them if you’re not fond of the idea. She’ll never know."
Dragon, still engrossed in the message, ran his fingertips over the petals. "They’re beautiful."
"Huh?" Deborah’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion at his response. "They’re what?"
He chose not to repeat himself, allowing his attention to linger on the flowers artfully arranged in the vase.
"I didn’t know she had such a talent," he whispered. "Despite her penchant for giving single roses to her targets, this arrangement suggests a different message to me."
"What are you saying now?" Deborah mumbled. "Hera doesn’t have any memories. There’s no hidden meaning; it’s just meant to bring you comfort."
Dragon raised an eyebrow, turning to face her. He cast her a look that silently urged her to explain further.
